She underwent surgery in March, during which the surgeon removed 55% of her colon. While her lymph nodes tested negative, Kasey knew she had to make tough treatment decisions. Her doctor recommended the Signatera test, which checks for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). It came back negative, leading her doctors to advise against chemotherapy. But life threw another curveball — by July, Kasey discovered she was pregnant. A routine blood test revealed skyrocketing CEA levels, a marker for cancer. Heartbreakingly, she had to make the devastating choice to terminate her pregnancy to ensure she could monitor and treat her cancer. In September, scans confirmed progression to stage 4 colon cancer.

Since then, Kasey has been undergoing chemotherapy while maintaining her career, caring for her family, and finding strength in her faith. She has learned the importance of self-advocacy, pushing for screenings, and questioning medical assumptions. Through social media, she shares tips and insights on navigating treatment for stage 4 colon cancer, hoping to educate and empower others.

Kasey’s message is clear: cancer doesn’t define her. It’s a challenge, but it doesn’t mean that life stops. She wants people to understand that stage 4 colon cancer doesn’t always mean the worst, that community and support make a difference, and that listening to your body and pushing for answers can be lifesaving. Her story isn’t just about illness — it’s about resilience, awareness, and the power of taking control of your health.
